bridal shower invitations should lay out all of the
necessary information, yet still be attractive.
One way to do this is to have a picture
engraved on the invitation. Ask your
engraver to add a small design on the
inside of your invitation or wherever
you have information about the
reception.

If, for example, an ice cream social is
your theme see if there is an ice
cream cone or Sundae dish they

can emboss onto the paper without taking away from the main
body of the invitation. Remember that subtlety is stylish; you
don’t want to come across as overpowering with your theme. It may be difficult sometimes to know who to invite to the bridal shower. As a general rule, the bridal shower hostess or hostesses should invite female family members of both the bride and the groom. She should also invite close female friends of the bride and the bride's family. She may also want to invite some of the bride-to-be's co-workers. She should be sure to

consult with the bride when compiling the guest list.
Try to organize the people invited so some will set
up the bridal shower game, someone else will set
up the bridal shower favor, and so on. Not everyone
invited to the wedding needs to be invited to the
shower. However, those invited to the bridal shower
are normally invited to the wedding.

Information needed on a Bridal Shower
Invitation

The bridal shower invitation should include the name of the bride to be, the date and time of the shower, and the address and phone number of the hostess/hostesses. If you are concerned about the attendance at your bridal shower, consider including on the invitation a deadline date for the RSVP; usually about two weeks prior to the shower date.
